You Ruin Everything

From RITA® Award winning author M. Malone comes a hilarious new standalone romantic comedy about starting over and failing upward! This steamy, small town contemporary romance features a zany family, a cantankerous Victorian home, and an attack pug with latent anger issues.


He's my best friend's brother and the bane of my existence.


Swinging a hammer does not make up for being grumpy and shirtless all the time. But Hendrix Evers thinks renovating my Gran’s run-down Victorian is the perfect reason to let him move-in for the summer. Everyone sees this hardworking, small town hero, but he's my best friend's brother so I know the truth.


He’s rude, juvenile and has a long history of ruining things for me.


But somehow I’ve become the family breadwinner and the adoptive mom to a pug with anger issues so I need all the help I can get. Surely we can co-exist for one summer without burning the house down, right?
